Well Raikeswood asked about my hols, so at the risk of being a bore - here's what I got up to?

I went here - The Brothers Islands

On this boat - M/Y Blue Horizon

And did this - (This was really cool - 3 Grey Reef sharks following Tuna & a bait ball). Reef Sharks Video

I had a great week, made some new friends and came back with all my fingers and toes!

If anyone has ever thought about scuba diving, then do it. Nick will probably agree that's it one of the best things you can ever do. It changed my life and after 9 years of diving, I'm still hooked ? the closest thing to floating weightless in space, with an incredible array of things to wonder at - truly amazing.

Here are a few of the pictures I took.

Not jealous at all. 

P.S. I dived the Salem Express 2 months ago.

I nearly didn't dive it out of respect - went there a few years back, but wouldn't dive it that time. I'm glad I did this time round, but I wouldn't penetrate the wreck as to me it's a mass grave. Very spooky and quite sad, especially those lifeboats lying on the bottom.

Great pictures GG. Thanks for sharing!

Fabulous Pics and I loved the video footage of the sharks, they are so graceful.

Thanks MP - they are wonderful animals, it's quite something to get up close and personal with them. They are very misunderstood creatures and as you say, so graceful.
